Wide open competition for Cardinals cornerback - CBS 5 - KPHO

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -- The quarterback competition is getting all the attention at the Arizona Cardinals training camp. The battle at cornerback is just as intense.

Patrick Peterson has one cornerback spot nailed down. The other is the only position up for grabs on a defense that is considered the strength of the team.

Among the candidates are Greg Toler, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, free agent signee William Gay, former starter A.J. Jefferson and promising rookie Jamell Fleming.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt notes there have been many times in past seasons that the team has had to scramble to find cornerbacks. This year appears to be different.
